Fast forward 25 years and Nintendo has become a world leader in electronic entertainement. How did this miraculous transformation come about? BEFORE MARIO will answer that question, through a richly illustrated overview of over fifty Nintendo toys and games, that represent this crucial period in the company’s history (1965 to 1983).
